There are many good things about 39 in the Third World. Take the close and constantrelation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbours for example. In the West, thevery nature of work puts distance between 40 and children. But in most Third World villagesmother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices. 41 , the child seesmother and father, relations and neighbours working 42 and often shares in that work. A child 43 in this way learns his or her role through joining in the communitys 44 ：helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies - rather than 45 playing with water andsand in kindergarten, keeping pets 46 playing with dolls. These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the 47children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions ofthe sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world, 48 , are provided with a watch asone of the 49 signs of growing up, so that they can 50 along with their parents aboutbeing late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows Third World children do not usually 51 to stay indoors, still less in highrise apartments(公寓) .

One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen. The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that countrys bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, for that was the scientists name, had a total success on his hands. Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places. But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings (叮) , began to attack its neighbours - cats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings. This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.56. The results of the South American experiment . A. have caused a serious trouble B. have proved to be wrong C. are not yet certain D. are not important57. The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to . A. increase the amount of honey in Brazil B. make Brazilian bees more easy-going C. increase the number of bees in Brazil D. make African bees less active58. Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees attacking personalities? A. Their production of honey. B. Their hard work. C. Their living environment. D. Their bad temper.59. The last paragraph implies that . A. the bees have been driven to Central and North America B. the bees may bring about trouble in more countries C. the bees must be stopped from moving north D. the bees prefer to live in Brazil B Hes an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When Itook him my shoes, he at first told me: “I havent time. Take them to the other fellow on the mainstreet ; hell fix them for you right away.” But Id had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools andpieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). “No,” I replied, “the other fel-low cant do it well.” “The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” - without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, andwhen they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away thepair. My man saw I wouldnt give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said,“Come back in a week.” I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf. “See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind ofwork. ” When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was somethingout of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange,dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft. These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things anyold,way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasingconsumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rarecomfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.60. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler.? A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools. B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais. C. He was proud of his skills. D. He was a native Parisian.61. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” ( paragraph 7 ) implies that A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him B. it was difficult to communicate with this man C. the man was very strange D. the man was too old62. According to the author, many people work just to . A. realize their abilities B. gain happiness C. make money D. gain respect63. This story wants to tell us that . A. craftsmen make a lot of money B. whatever you do, do it well C. craftsmen need self-respect D. people are born equalC Members of the working class have blue-collar jobs. They are construction workers, truckdrivers, mechanics, steel workers, electricians, and the like. What makes this class differ fromthe lower class is, first, longer periods of employment - and therefore, more fixed incomes and, second, employment in skilled or semiskilled (半熟练的 ) occupations, not unskilledones. Although unemployment hits all levels of the American economy, including those of skilledand semi-skilled workers, it is most common at the bottom of the class structure and increasinglyless common at each level upward. They consider themselves to be respectable and hard workingand they look down upon members of the lower class, whom they often consider to be lazy, dis-honest, and too ready to exploit public assistance. - Most people in the working class have at least high school education. Many have some experi-ence of college ( especially community college), though few are college graduates. Unionizationhas helped the working class, but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high unem-ployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings great-ly. Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremely difficult, although a certain percentagemay receive houses from their parents. (Home-owning rises with social class. ) A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in theirjobs, because much of their work is ordinary and boring. As a result, many seek their main satis-faction in recreational ( 娱乐的) activities. Many members of this class would like to earn enoughmoney to leave their jobs and start their own businesses, though few make it. Many place theirexpectations on their children, hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success, Ameri-can style.64. Which of the following is true about the working class.? A. They are often employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers. B. They are often offered jobs with high incomes. C. They are often considered lazy and dishonest. D. They are often exploited by the public.65. The underlined word “hit” (paragraph 1 ) roughly means . A. strike with a blow B. have bad effects on C. break up66. Most people in the working class . A. have difficulty increasing their savings greatly B. have at least some experience of college C. receive houses from their parents D. buy houses by themselves67. Many members from the working class are not satisfied with their jobs because . A. they could not rise in the ladder of success B. they are not interested in their jobs C. they could not earn much money D. they are not their own bosses D How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning towrite but have never yet found the time7 Far too many. This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演) and, unhappily, we do missso many of its best moments. We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families always making ourselves believethat this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want todo. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and welook back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life. In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English：“Have a nice day” theyspeak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderfulphrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day. How often do we say to ourselves, Ill take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing) as soon asI get a higher position, only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position. When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job atthe Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by whatappeared to me to be his completely abnormal (反常的) mental state. How could anyone turn hisback on Fleet Street in central London for a small local area？I wanted to know. Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man wasunder continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his lifesitting on Southern Region trains.68. The first paragraph of the passage tells us that . A. we always try to find some time to write a book B. we always make plans but seldom fulfil them C. we always enjoy many of lifes best moments D. we always do what we really want to do69. The underlined phrase turn his back on (paragraph 6) most probably means . A. leave for B. return to C. give up D. rely on70. The man ( paragraph 6) left his first job partly because he was . A. in an abnormal mental state B. under too much pressure C. not well paid D. not respected71. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Provide Homes For Our Family B. Take Up Horse-ridin
